deb, that's awesome! I thought it was in the stratosphere before!
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What is even happening?
1. He's flying me out to Vegas to trail around on the trade show floor during Magic. Fubu's picking up the tab.
Oh, now, knowing how you feel about Vegas, that's just the icing ganache on the cake.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Heh. Nic says he wants to come down for that one too - he wants to scope out the tech.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Deb, that is ... nope, I'm out of words, and have progressed straight to "Squeeeeeeeeee! Yay yay yay yay!"
Ooooh, you get to go to Magic. If you can, could you please make a minion/assistant -type grab catalogs from the gothy/alternative companies for me? I really do need them for research, not just for going Oooh Shiny at.

I really think an old-fashioned rocker's view of the modern hip-hop scene would be fascinating reading. Heck with Vibe, run it past Rolling Stone, too.
Not to feel like the Ancient Mariner and his albatross, but I'm glad you'll have ita backing you up at the clubs. Daymond's name should be sufficient to keep the twits at bay, but I still expect some jackhole to make a fuss about his story being written by Deb.

Heh. I'm going to be surrounded. And Jilli, yep, will do.
In a burst of complete synchronicity, we're watching "Be Cool". I am laughing my ass off.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
7,960 words need to be written by Friday.
Am I purposefully sabotaging myself? The hell?

I just read and commented on your Catalina essay. It may be the best one of the entire collection, in terms of clarity and simplicity.
I also popped it into a blank word doc and did the auto wordcount. It came in at 2,826 words.
So, 2.5 essays of this length. And I don't think your editor is going to slam over a thousand words or less, so call it two essays.
Doable, surely?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I am bouncing up and down with glee for you, Deb! Congrats, rock on, babe! I'm so happy all this good stuff is happening to someone I know, who totally works her ass off and deserves it!
